About Us

In 2019, we developed a unique and interactive Marine Biology curriculum, teaching at John Adams Middle School in LA. This included immersing students into our underwater world through low-tech virtual reality (VR).

By 2020, we were awarded a Women Divers Hall of Fame grant to further develop the VR portion of this curriculum. Today, Under the Blue Line presents the culmination of this work as a collection of underwater education modules. 

Our Mission

By documenting our work on tropical coral reefs and nurseries, temperate kelp forests and seagrass beds, we are excited to immerse students into these ecosystems and foster a connection with what lies beyond the coastline. Importantly, we aim to inspire students to become future marine biologists and restoration practitioners. Both access to the ocean and access to education are a privilege; through this program, submerging kids "under the blue line” that is our ocean’s surface, we hope to change that.
